cc: "Quinn, Rachel" date: Tue, 3 Apr 2001 12:19:49 +0100 from: "Goulden, Marisa" subject: Steering Committee for RS meeting on IPCC synthesis report to: "'m.hulme@uea.ac.uk'" Dear Mike, It was good to meet you and listen to your presentation at the climate change conference in the DTI conference centre on 21 March. I believe that Rachel Quinn has spoken to you about being on the Steering Committee for a meeting the Royal Society is planning to hold on the IPCC TAR on 12 and 13 December this year. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you regarding this. I am now contacting you with further details of the December meeting and to make arrangements for the first meeting of the Steering Committee. The other members of the Steering Committee currently are Dr Terry Barker, Dr Thomas Downing, Dr David Griggs, Professor Michael Grubb, Prof Brian Hoskins, Sir John Houghton and Prof Martin Parry. We have provisionally arranged for a meeting on the morning of the 25th April. I would be most grateful if you could let me know if you are able to attend this meeting, or if not on which dates, in the two weeks from the 8th May that you would be available for a meeting in London. The attached document contains an edited version of the project proposal that was approved by Council last month and the initial thoughts of those who proposed the meeting: Sir John Houghton, who will Chair the Steering Committee; and Prof Brian Hoskins, a member of Council. I have also included some notes on possible formats for the meeting that you might like to consider. I would be very grateful for your initial thoughts on this outline and the questions identified. In particular are there any additional/alternative sessions that you can suggest and any speakers that you would recommend/consider essential? I believe that Rachel mentioned that Sir John is hoping that you will be willing to speak at the meeting. If you have any queries or no longer wish to be involved in the Steering Committee please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be most grateful if you could send me your comments before the meeting of the Steering Committee, if possible by the 18th April.
